Kelly Acree

Master of Public Health

Future Plans: Kelly intends to remain working for The Ohio State University Wexner Medical Center as an infection preventionist upon graduation, and she looks forward to using her MPH to become more involved in research and preventing hospital infections. Her practicum project involved investigating if patient-reported antibiotic allergies have an impact on the antibiotics that are prescribed and if this results in an increased risk of acquiring a C. difficile infection. This project has gained the attention of the quality improvement department at the medical center. They intend to use the research as part of a prediction model to create an algorithm that may identify oncology patients that are the most at risk of acquiring C. difficile infections.

State Authorization: Distance Education Restrictions Based on Permanent Residence

Michigan State University is obligated to comply with existing state laws regarding distance education (programs/departments offering courses delivered exclusively online). State laws regarding distance education vary state-by-state, and even program-by-program within a state. The Master of Public Health offered through the College of Human Medicine’s Division of Public Health at Michigan State University requires a practicum experience that constitutes a physical presence in some states, therefore restricting enrollment in our program to residents of those states.
